Thanks Laura for sharing this. Had written a blog
post<http://cn.okfn.org/2013/09/04/data-gov-uk-open-up-its-data-inventory/>
about
this on OKFN-China

I personally love the feedback system they put there and if will nice if
they could later share how well it works to help government decide the
priority of datasets.

best,
Feng
